House Sitting Norfolk

“Mickale was fantastic with my puppy. I know this because normally when I walk and he’s super excited. When I walked in this time he didn’t really care to see me that means he had a great time with her, my apartment was left spotless, my dog was healthy. She was very communicative. I genuinely appreciate her for pulling me out of a bind.”

“Melissa did an excellent job of keeping us informed about Maya's behavior--even sending pictures. We appreciated her taking such care of her with providing treats, walks, TV watching, etc. Our house was extremely clean when we returned, as well as changing and washing the linens on the bed. Thank you, Melissa, for being so conscientious in every aspect.”

“Ashley was so helpful and attentive! Not only did she take excellent care of my dogs but she also made sure my faucets were dripping when the temperature dropped! Highly recommend!”

“Mikayla was the best ever! I have 2 semi-reactive pitbull mixes and live in an apartment complex so walking them is a challenge and she did great!! She sent so many updates and I was never worried about them one bit! Would 1000% book again!! :)”

About: I'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible. I’ll be working full time once the school year starts! Daisy May is crate trained; I also have a foster puppy who has his own crate too. I have a doggie gate if separation is needed. My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.

“Abby was great! She helped us out for weekend house/dog sitting in a pinch! She did great, sending updates and photos. Definitely recommend and will use again.”

“Mikayla was very professional and able to watch the animals last minute. I’m not sure if the expectations were unclear, but she arrived late for the house sitting and then the only updates I received were a few blurry pictures for the weekend of my 2 dogs and cat. When I asked how they were doing she said they were doing good…as a pet sitter myself and the fact that I emphasized that I wanted updates, I hoped that she would have told me when my dog didn’t eat and updates on everyone. Fix that and I’d give her 5 stars!”

“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”

About: I'm highly skilled at reading animal body language. I have experience with anxious, temperamental, excitable, shy, and senior pets. I've cared for cats since a young age and have more recent hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm comfortable supporting both energetic younger pets and older pets who require a softer approach. I am able to handle animals gently, give oral/injection medications, routine care, play, and feeding. I am currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday from 10:00am-6:00pm. On Thursdays and Fridays, I'm fully available during the day and usually make plans around 6:00pm, but I'm always happy to stop by before or after. I'm completely available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for visits, drop-ins, or extended care. I always make sure I'm aware of any pet allergies, medical needs, and medications that must be given. If a medication has to be administered at a specific time, I will adjust my schedule to ensure your pet's safety and consistency. I take care to keep toxic plants, foods, and loose wires out of reach, and I maintain clean litter boxes and bowls throughout my visits. If certain pets cannot share a space, I will follow your instructions closely to keep everyone safe and comfortable. In case of emergencies, I have a reliable vehicle that pets can safely ride in if transportation is needed.

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.

“My pups were in great hands and well cared for! I truly appreciated the regular updates and ability to house sit last minute! Would definitely book again!”

“PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire Ty as your next Rover sitter. she was on time, so attentive, and provided so many updates. We really do not leave our fur baby with many people, but I felt really comfortable leaving her with Ty. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!”

“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was a toddler. I currently have three cats of my own who definitely run the house, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and quirky behaviors. I also regularly help care for my mom’s dog, Petey, so I stay very familiar with day to day dog care like walks, feeding, attention, and reading different dog personalities. In the past, I’ve also had dogs of my own, including a beloved senior dog who lived to an old age. Caring for her taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding the needs of older pets. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. From friendly and playful to shy or more “spicy.” I’m calm, patient, and always take the time to let pets warm up at their own pace. I also have experience administering medications, including ear washes and oral medications, so I’m comfortable helping with basic care routines if needed. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping their routine consistent. For cats, I understand the importance of trust, space, and gentle, low-stress care. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ As a stay at home mom of one child, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week, into the weekend. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine since I already manage a household and care for pets of my own. I’m organized, dependable, and make sure each visit is given my full attention and care. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I respect all instructions carefully and make sure pets stay in their normal environment with as little stress as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines as requested. I take my time to be sure pets feel comfortable with me, especially shy or anxious pets, and I never rush interactions. I also keep a close eye on doors, gates, and safety concerns to ensure pets remain secure at all times. My goal is to provide reliable, calm care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

“Hannah was responsive to our messages, and she took great care of our babies while we were away for our wedding ♥️ she stayed at our house, and kept everything clean! She even made sure to sleep in the bed to cuddle with both of our babies. Would recommend Hannah to anyone! Thanks Hannah!!”

About: I am an experienced, compassionate pet parent with a deep understanding of animal behavior and medical care. I am a 5 star reviewed sitter on the trusted housesitters platform. I have extensive experience in managing pet medications, for senior rescue dogs, handling high energy puppies and caring for senior rescue dogs. Whether your pet needs calm, quiet companionship, careful medication administration, or high energy play sessions, I adapt perfectly to their routine to keep them happy, safe, and loved. I am currently working full-time but am flexible with hours being that I don’t have a specific work schedule. Some days I work morning shift then some days evenings I have breaks. I am open to whatever we can make work especially on my days off. I am the primary caregiver for all of the pets in the home I currently reside in. However I do have help when needed as one of the cats isn’t mine. Usually I am the one giving them breakfast and dinner, changing litter when needed and keeping an eye on them. Previously in the past I would also set a routine for pets and follow it very closely.

“Denny and Zach were everything we could have asked for in dog/house sitters. They took great care of our dog and our house. I absolutely recommend them!”

About: Hi! I’m a dog-lover located in Germantown, right by a beautiful walking trail that’s perfect for safe, relaxing walks. I have a large backyard with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day. I also have a very friendly golden retriever, Theo, who is neutered and loves making new friends. He is gentle, social, and used to being around other dogs, which makes our home a great environment for pups who enjoy companionship. My home is a calm, clean, and structured environment and I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including accommodating to feeding schedules, crate training, medications, and special instructions. Whether your dog needs daycare, overnight sitting, or a place to stay while you travel, they would have plenty of attention, exercise, and care while they’re here. Im also happy to do meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable! I work from home and usually never have to leave the house during the day, so your pet will never be left alone unless already discussed! Particularly for day care services, your pet will have access to the home and have a big backyard and plenty of space for comfort. Your pet will be in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I can introduce dogs slowly and carefully, especially when meeting our golden retriever Theo, who is neutered, very friendly, and used to being around other dogs. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and live near a walking trail where dogs can get safe daily exercise on leash. Inside the home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, crate use, medications, and routines. Only dogs that are a good fit for the home are taken in so that everyone stays safe and comfortable. I can provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is being well cared for. The goal is to make every dog feel at home!

“Alli was amazing. Rusty,Sophie and Kitty adored her She went above and beyond our expectations. Our vacation was awesome and we could relax knowing our fur babies were in good hand with Alli. Fabulous job👍👏🏻💕”
